Kansas Motorcycle Museum, Two-wheel vehicle museum in Marquette, United States.
The Kansas Motorcycle Museum in Marquette houses more than one hundred vintage and rare motorcycles that show the evolution of American motorcycle manufacturing across different eras. The collection ranges from early models to modern examples and documents technical innovations and design changes.
The museum was founded in 2003 by Stan Engdahl, a Marquette native and five-time National Racing Champion known for his victories in the scramble. Engdahl died in 2007, and his wife LaVona served as curator until her death. The collection grew around his own racing career, which ran from the 1940s to the 1990s.
The museum grew out of the collection of Marquette native Stan "Stan the Man" Engdahl, a five-time National Racing Champion known for his scramble victories. His wife LaVona served as curator until her death, and the museum is a popular destination for bikers passing through town.
The museum sits on the southeast corner of Washington Street, Marquette's main street, and Third Street in downtown Marquette. It is open year-round and on most holidays. Admission is free, with donations welcome.
The collection features a custom-built Harley Davidson motorcycle that Stan Engdahl constructed himself and rode in races over many decades. This bike represents the craftsmanship and endurance of a racer who devoted his life to the sport.
